County Demos Hear Director George Brown, political education director of Oregon AFL-CIO, was en thusiastically received at the Febru ary 24 meeting of Columbia County Demo club in St. Helens. Brown spoke on labor’s approach to Workmen's Compensation prob lem, its benefits, and the petitions to be circulated to get the initiative on the ballot. Advantages of the pro posed initiative spelled out by Brown were: 1JA11 employers to be cover ed by state workmen’s compensa tion; 2.) Remove designation erf haz ardous or non-hazardous employ ment; 3.) SIAC to administer the whole program, no private insurance groups to be allowed to skim the cream; 4.) extend two year appeal period to five years; 5.) 1814 percent increase in benefits to injured work men; 6.) of 2 cents per day per worker now being paid in, 1'4 cents to go into retroactive relief fund, the other % cent to general fund. Brown stressed that employers will not be able to reject this act al though they will have right to appeal from decisions of the SIAC. The le gal hurdles should be cleared by Ap ril so that circulation of the petitions can begin. By July in excess of 37,000 names must be secured to put the measure on the ballot. Brown said he expects no problem whatsoever in obtaining the names, and stressed that this was a non-partisan issue where registered voters of either party would be sought. The Columbia County Demos voted to support the initiative first, and second to help circulate the petitions with no regard to party politics; this being a matter of great benefit to the average worker in Columbia county. Larry Brooks, candidate for state representative, who moved that the Demo club help circulate the pe titions, was appointed to co-ordinate the club’s work with the Columbia county central labor council. Brooks was requested to work with Pete Bartlett of the central labor council. Candidates present at the meeting were Larry Brooks, state representa tive; Robert Glosenger, c o u n t y judge; Wes Kimble, county commis sioner; and Dane Brady, county commissioner. Refreshments were enjoyed later.
